(I am involved in building the packages) Yes packages currently start building Tuesday night. It takes until Saturday/Sunday for all release/arch to finish building. As each release/arch is finished the packages are uploaded. I did want to expedite updating this package but was blocked by a number of things. I regret we did not, and will not, have a package available sooner for all release/archs. I have started an internal discussion on building packages more frequently for security updates. >=20 > Right now pkgng binary packages are not really suitable for production > use because of lacking essential security updates.
